Average crackers capacity utilization rate of 85%, affected by the scheduled maintenance shutdown

at the Triunfo site and operational issues.

assets forming the Water Treatment Unit (“WTU”) located at the Triunfo complex in the amount of R$315

million, recognizing a gain of R$277 million in the quarter.

EBITDA was R$1.6 billion, positively influenced by (i) the stability in spreads in the international market,

million.
